Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify that it had been tested for its purity and weight, ensuring that it met the standards of the time. This feature is known as a "test cut" and was commonly used in coins from the German States during the 17th and 18th centuries.
